المستخلص
To determine and classify the seasonal distributions of the major hard tick species (Ixodidae) on cattle and dogs in the north, middle and south of Thi-Qar provinces, an observatory was conducted between January and December 2024. From 3.812 native cattle and dogs, 11333 mature hard ticks were recovered. To ascertain the seasonal diversity, samples were taken from the same province each month. Five species from two genera (Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus) were found; Hyalomma anatolicum (62.76%) and Rhipicephalus turanicus (37.24%) were the most prevalent ticks. In addition to the earlier research, there were environmental variances between each province.
